When the life becomes life
and we need a moment to reflect
We give ourselves the night
and invite good food and friends
We sing the words that remind us that miracles are sent
Right into the space between the heart and the head

This night, intimate and meaningful, was made possible by our friends opening the home. to gather and sing our songs for and with the community in Monterey California!

At the tail end of a short tour down south where we played music for ceremony, birthday parties, and even facilitated a workshop teaching songwriting, we dropped in with the room and brought up tears, smiles, and reflective insights.

How do we express enough gratitude for the gift to carry these songs and connect with these people? When I contemplate what my purpose is, I always come back to “write songs and sing them…. And always be curious about how I can do that while maintaining an awareness to the people and places around me”

With @missmadeoflight walking the road with me, the music takes on a wild and profound nature, expansive and colorful. Life is lifeing and it’s getting deeper all the time.

🌿🎶 Songwriting as Earth Medicine 🎶🌿

Excited to be facilitating along some of the* most incredible songbirds... for an afternoon of embodied Songwriting as part of Song of the Earth retreat!

I love teaching songwriting because I believe that EVERYONE has something to say, and EVERYONE can say it through one of the most powerful vehicles to ever exist: MUSIC. It is my highest joy and honor to help facilitate the magic that emerges!!

If you are in town and not attending Harvest Fusion, I highly suggest attending this retreat if you want to work with your voice, creativity, and connection with the natural world.

On Monday, we'll explore how to turn our lived experiences into song — allowing music to emerge naturally.

✨ Monday, October 26 | 12–3 PM
📍 Grass Valley, CA
Part of the 4-day Song of the Earth gathering, October 23–26.

🌱 Come listen, create, and discover the songs waiting to be sung through you.

Sara Joy Gillbeau (@sarajoy.creates) has been a weaver of lyric and song since childhood. Classically trained in opera and piano, her journey eventually led her to rediscover music as a vehicle for true healing, using vocalization, sacred sound, and vibration as medicine.

She now writes songs from the depths of her being – weaving threads of mantra, devotional harmonies, and medicine music. In addition to sound, she expresses her artistry through traditional fiber arts like felting, spinning, knitting, and weaving, allowing songs to emerge in shared creative circles.

She is also a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a Colon Hydrotherapist, and a Hatha Yoga teacher.

Sophya Ramirez (@almaconvoz) is a Colombian singer-songwriter, master teacher, and vocal guide with over 15 years of experience leading vocal and somatic practices around the world.

Creator of albums like Medicine Woman and Canto a Tierra, her background bridges contemporary jazz, Latin American rhythms, and Indian Classical Raga. Grounded in music as a vessel for self-healing and connection, Sophya creates sacred, immersive containers that help melt tension and cultivate intuitive vocal resonance.

‘Want Not’ @victoraxelrod cover live at @crazylikeahorse 8.28.26 feat. @missmadeoflight on vocals.

This song perfectly embodies the theme of @t.i.n.o.a.t … “DESIRE at the root of all MISERY”… recognizing this is the first step to liberation.
